#1:1 God (a-4)
 Heb. _Elohim_, the plural of _Eloah_, 'the Supreme'. It is
 Deity in the absolute sense. _Elohim_ will, in the text, appear
 only in the name of _Jehovah Elohim_; moreover, when _Elohim_
 following immediately on _Jehovah_ has a grammatical adjunct,
 its place will be taken by the English word 'God': see Gen.
 9.26 and 24.7. Other Hebrew divine names translated as 'God'
 will be indicated as follows: _Eloah_ +God; _El_, (meaning 'The
 Mighty,' see Gen. 14.18), ∙God. For the meaning of Jehovah,
 (Heb. _Yahveh_, or _Yehveh_), the ever-existing One, see Ex.
 3.14,15; Isa. 40.28. For _Jah_, the existing One objectively,
 see Ex. 15.2; Ps. 68.4. The name seems to express _absolute_
 rather than _continuous_ existence. For _Adonai_ (a name of
 God, not merely a title), translated 'Lord', see Ezek. 2.4.
